Only half an hour later, the Sword Testing Ground was overcrowded.
The disciples of the Sword Sect are basically here. Some of them are really independent and some have missions. Almost all of them are here.
Even some people from other sects ran over after hearing the news, wanting to watch.
Seats have also been arranged in the east-facing position, and the heads of other factions have arrived and have taken their seats.
The waning moon has already risen, the fire pots used for lighting everywhere are making crackling sounds, and the atmosphere is particularly solemn.
Jiang Qingyun was still calm and unhurried, Chongxu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
This woman thought that she could save herself by abandoning Zhang Chi. It was ridiculous. This time she abandoned Zhang Chi and we will see who else will help her in the future.
This time, Chongxu also made full preparations to beat Zhang Chi to death without leaving any further trouble.
Seeing that everyone had finally arrived, Chongxu stood up and faced everyone.
When everyone looked at him and the whole place was silent, he slowly spoke: "Three days ago, an unprecedented theft occurred in Lingshi Cave. The number of stolen Lingshi was as high as 500,000.
For this reason, I, a disciple of the Sword Sect, traveled around, and under the leadership of Elder Chong Ling, Zhang Chi went to Lingshi Cave to investigate.
The three-day period has come and we are traveling around, why don’t we tell you how the investigation went?”
"Reporting to the Great Elder, although the thief has not been caught yet, the place where the thief hid the treasure has been found, and a total of 250,000 spiritual stones have been recovered."
Although Zhou You is Chongxu's son, he still has to address his duties when working.
As soon as these words came out, Qing Hui was shocked.
He hid 400,000 spiritual stones in that place, and found 250,000 while traveling around?
You are still black!
Qing Hui also felt very sad. Five hundred thousand spirit stones were lost in the Lingshi Cave, but he was the one who managed the relationship with 100,000.
After finally getting 400,000 yuan for himself, he didn't even spend a single spiritual stone, so he let Chongxu take the bottom.
Now Chongxu can still be greedy for 150,000, but he is the only one who loses blood!
After the matter is completed, you must find some profit from Chongxu, otherwise, if the matter is shaken out, Chongxu will not get any good results.
Chongxu wooing Qinghui can indeed strengthen his own power, but at the same time, if he woos a thief on board, it is equivalent to his own ship becoming a thief's ship.
He had Qing Hui's handle. Why didn't Qing Hui have his handle?
It's not that Chongxu is unaware of this, he just thinks he can handle Qinghui.
The spirit stone must be found, otherwise how can you perform meritorious deeds while traveling around?
So Chongxu asked: "How did you find the spirit stone?"
"The disciple is thinking that the number of five hundred thousand spiritual stones is too large, and the thieves will not be lucky at all, and may hide somewhere first.
The most likely possibility is to take advantage of the developed water system near Lingshi Cave.
So, the disciple led people to explore day and night, and finally found the place where the spiritual stone was hidden."
After learning that the spirit stone was really hidden in the water, Zhou You couldn't help but sigh to himself, Zhang Chi's mind was really scary.
Why didn't he think of that?
After that, he naturally changed his words and explained to many Foundation Establishment disciples that it was actually his idea to fish for rocks, and asked everyone not to blame Zhang Chi.
The spirit stone had not yet been found at that time, so of course no one doubted this claim of taking the blame.
I started looking for it early this morning and found it quickly.
No one doubted that Zhou You knew the place where the spirit stone was hidden, but they were amazed by Zhou You's cleverness.
According to the plan, it is now Qinghui's turn to speak.
He took a step forward and said in shock: "How did we find the 250,000 yuan? If we can't find the rest, wouldn't my charge of guarding and stealing be cleared away?"
Chongxu was immediately very dissatisfied and said: "Elder Qinghui, no one said that you were stealing. Moreover, how many spirit stones are in the warehouse and how many spirit stones have been lost are naturally recorded in the account book, which can naturally prove your innocence."
Hearing this, the onlookers became restless.
It has been fermenting for a day, and no one knows that the ledger has been destroyed.
Of course, these are all rumors and have not been confirmed. They are all nonsense told by some disciples.
Now, it’s time to wait for the real hammer to fall.
"Great Elder, all the account books in the warehouse have been burned."
"What's going on? How come the good account books were burned?"
Chongxu looked shocked and acted very realistically.
Zhou You replied: "Because Zhang Chi was eager to solve the case, he moved all the ledgers to his room. He never thought that there was a fire and all the ledgers were burned.
To date, the cause of the fire has not been identified.”
Qing Hui suddenly looked shocked and said in despair: "How could this happen? Without the account books and the spiritual stones have not been recovered, how can I clear my name?"
In the past few days, I have often heard people scolding me for being a thief. I have been practicing Buddhism for half my life, but I never expected to gain such a reputation.
Forget it, who asked me to stay overnight on the red boat, which led to the theft of the spiritual stone. Everything I endure now is all my own fault.
Since there is no other way to help me get rid of my stigma, I can only use my blood to tell everyone that I, Qinghui, have been upright and upright throughout my life!"
After saying that, the flying sword flew out from his sleeve and he was about to kill himself.
Chongxu quickly blocked Qinghui's drastic move to prove his innocence.
This scene also caused the crowd to panic.
Those who had scolded Qing Hui felt even more regretful.
After listening to Zhang Chi's words three days ago, they also became suspicious of Qing Hui.
Now that Qing Hui is acting like this, they subconsciously feel that Qing Hui is innocent.
Spiritual stones are indeed precious, but they are nothing compared to your own life.
What's more, a soul monk is worth more than 250,000 spiritual stones.
After Chongxu stopped Qing Hui, he also scolded: "Confused! Why is this? Your practice is not easy, how can you die for such a trivial matter?
What's more, Zhang Chi is just young and frivolous, so why would you bother getting angry with a junior like him?
I think, how about you let him apologize to you and forget about it? I will find a way to fill the remaining 250,000 spirit stones for you."
Chongxu’s words moved all the disciples.
This is the elder who truly serves the sect!
Chongxu's evaluation of Zhang Chi's youth and frivolity was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Except for true fans like Chen Runyu, everyone else turned to Chongxu's side.
"Let Zhang Chi apologize!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
As a result, Zhang Chi's voice of apology was overwhelming.
Chongxu felt so happy.
Zhang Chi, Zhang Chi, have you thought about today?
Chongxu also noticed that the person setting the pace in the crowd was his grandson Zhou Ran, wasn't it?
This time, he did a great job.
Chongxu pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Where is Zhang Chi? Why don't you come out to apologize?"
Zhou Ran hid in the crowd and shouted in cooperation: "Zhang Chi, come out and apologize!"
"Zhang Chi, come out and apologize!"
"..."
Chen Runyu's face is pale, and it's hard for true fans to beat the odds.
She still believes in Zhang Chi, but in this situation, how can Zhang Chi escape?
Zhang Chi finally walked out amid the endless calls.
In the face of everyone's scolding, he remained calm and calm, with a bit of a smile on his lips.
"Elder Qinghui, don't panic, I'm here to prove your innocence..."
